Top Ten: El Hadji Diouf YouTube Videos

With the news that Doncaster Rovers have been brave enough to take everyone’s favourite sewer rat El Hadji Diouf on a three-month deal, Football Burp scoured the YouTube vaults for ten videos that illustrate just what manner of baggage Dean Saunders might have to contend with over that period. He’s…well, he’s a character. Put it like that…

1. How better to get things underway than a concise summary of his since-embellished upon list of misdemeanours, as presented by Craig Burley when the Senegalese forward joined Rangers on loan in January…

 

2. This prank phone call on Diouf shows him to be quite the perverted trash-talker. Those of a sensitive disposition may wish to skip this one – but know that, should you cross him, he’ll think nothing of inviting you round to his house so that he can…erm…”f*** you”…

 

3. This post-match interview with Queens Park Rangers manager Neil Warnock was perhaps one of the most public and emphatic condemnations of a rival team’s player seen on these shores for many a year. Fair enough, though, coming as it did in the wake of Diouf taunting Jamie Mackie as the QPR forward lay on the ground with a broken leg. Mackie claimed that Diouf had said to him “f*** you and f*** your leg” and, if you watched the video above, it won’t be all that much of a stretch to take him at his word. Mackie only returned to first team action last month…

 

4. Celtic’s Scott Brown curls home a beauty in the Old Firm derby and celebrates rather pointedly in the direction – nay, in the face – of good old Dioufy, with whom he’d endured quite the on-pitch battle with…

 

5. Brown was happy to confirm as much with this pithy yet telling response when questioned about it afterwards…

 

6. This dive, while playing for Bolton Wanderers against future employers Blackburn Rovers, looks worse and worse with each replay…

 

7. Here he is narrowly avoiding a parking ticket, cementing his ‘man of the people’ credentials by cruising around in what appears to be a solid gold car…

 

8. This time he doesn’t manage to avoid getting a ticket while collecting his pizza from the San Carlo restaurant in Manchester city centre. It was one of a string of parking tickets dished out to Diouf, who for some reason never seemed particularly put out by the £30 concomitant penalty…

 

9. We don’t know what Flipside is supposed to be but it credits Diomansy Kamara as executive producer so it gets our vote…

 

10. A trailer for the Beautiful People charity event he organised as part of The El Hadji Diouf Children’s Foundation. Not only is this a master class in how to do something essentially decent but still look like a wally, but it also features the spectacularly unlikely site of David Weir posing as a male model…
